Chapter 665: Nightfall
Chapter 665: Nightfall
"Dante, Omegaton has awakened, and if I'm not mistaken, it's currently in the underground Energy Factory beneath Kenkan City."
As he gazed at the strange occurrences in the sky, Shizuru couldn't afford to be distracted by the ongoing Champion Award Ceremony. He quickly informed Dante of Omegaton's location and then, without hesitation, mounted his Gogoat and flew towards the chaotic audience.
The sudden anomaly and earthquake had thrown the entire venue into chaos, with people jostling and pushing against each other in an attempt to escape.
The sheer number of people led to several trampling incidents.
Fortunately, the Galar League staff reacted swiftly, organizing the crowd's evacuation and preventing a more significant disaster.
Chi Shu held Xiao Shu close, and their sister, Ai Guansi, looked around.
Seeing the chaos, Xiao Shu appeared scared, her eyes already glistening with tears.
"It's okay, Xiao Shu, Mom is here," Chi Shu reassured her. Instead of fleeing with the panicked crowd, they stayed put.
At that moment, Shizuru rode his Gogoat and flew towards them.
Upon seeing her father, Xiao Shu's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Daddy!"
She stretched out her small hand, wanting Shizuru to hold her.
Shizuru took her from Chi Shu's arms and then quickly said to Chi Shu:
"A Legendary Pokemon is about to awaken, and it's dangerous here. You should return to the ranch first!"
"What about you?" Chi Shu asked with concern.
Shizuru smiled at her, "Don't worry, with Gogoat here, nothing will happen to me!"
Chi Shu nodded, knowing Shizuru's capabilities. Staying there would only be a burden to him.
"Xiao Shu, Entei just called, saying they miss you. Why don't you go home with Mom and visit them?" Shizuru patted Xiao Shu's head.
Hearing that Entei missed her, Xiao Shu immediately agreed.
"Mhm."
Seeing this, Shizuru used his Lotad Phone to contact Giratina.
Soon, a portal to the Reversed World quietly opened.
Chi Shu carried Xiao Shu, and with her sister Ai Guansi, they entered the portal, leaving the dangerous area.
After sending his family away, Shizuru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he turned his attention back to the battlefield below, he realized that Dante was nowhere to be seen.
Meanwhile, in the underground Energy Factory.
Dante rushed down, but strangely, despite the vast size of the factory, there wasn't a single person in sight.
As Dante was trying to make sense of the situation, Olivia suddenly appeared.
She looked at Dante and said, "Champion, Chairman Loze has been waiting for you for a long time."
Following Olivia, Dante soon found himself before Chairman Loze.
Behind Chairman Loze, within a layer of energy film, a colossal skeletal-like creature emitting a deep purple glow was continuously slamming against the energy wall!
"It's you!" Dante furrowed his brows and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"Please listen to what I have to say first!"
Chairman Loze didn't seem to care about Dante's question. He turned around, looked at the trapped Omegaton, and said to Dante:
"Perhaps, in your eyes, what I'm doing seems absurd?"
"I doubt you can understand at all. But, to ensure a peaceful and prosperous Galar Region, we need to develop infinite energy! This is my belief and my mission!"
"And the only plan to achieve this mission is to awaken Omegaton," Chairman Loze whispered.
Recalling the recent events outside and the reports from his subordinates about Gigantamax Pokemon riots across Galar, Dante couldn't agree at all.
At that moment, as if something suddenly dawned on him, his expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Did you choose me back then just for this?"
"I needed a trainer with exceptional strength. So, I recommended you to the League," Chairman Loze said, looking at Dante again. "And under our guidance, you indeed didn't disappoint me.
"Madman!" Dante's mind once again flashed back to the ancient scene of the Dark Night that Leocrown had shown him in Shizuru's ranch: "If Omegaton cannot be controlled, the entire Galer region will be destroyed by the Dark Night!"
"So, work with me, Dante!" Chairman Loze said.
Without hesitation, Dante refused.
Seeing this, Chairman Loze's expression changed, and his face took on an almost crazed look.
"You don't understand... You don't understand at all!"
"Dante, take a good look at the land of Galer before you! The energy that makes this place shine will cease to exist in a thousand years! By then, the Galer region will also be devoid of life!"
"If you consider this, you should understand that we can't afford to waste even a day! We must act swiftly to resolve this grave issue and create a better future!"
"We will develop the Galer region with our own strength, not by relying on Omegaton's power!" Dante reached for Charizard's Poke Ball at his waist, ready to stop Loze.
But the next second, a deafening roar filled the air.
With Omegaton's roar, the nearly overflowing Galar Particles within its body erupted.
"Crack!"
The device that Chairman Loze was so proud of shattered.
The fully awakened Omegaton raised its head, and with an ancient roar, its body pierced through the earth, reaching the surface at incredible speed and soaring into the sky.
At that moment, everyone in Kenkan City witnessed this terrifying scene.
The dark clouds seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, slowly spinning and forming a vortex.
Omegaton flew beneath the vortex, its terrifying energy causing time to distort around it! Then, as countless onlookers watched, the Omegaton's chest emitted a red glow.
The next second, the entire Galer region erupted in chaos.
Palace Gate City, Kenkan City, Engine City, Water Boat Town, Grass Road Town, and other cities with energy points all experienced the same phenomenon.
In that instant, red-glowing particles appeared across the Galer region, floating up into the sky above Kenkan City.
As if drawn by some force, the particles flew swiftly, causing countless Pokemon to enter Max Raid and lose their sanity in an instant, wreaking havoc on their surroundings.
Kenkan City.
Numerous Pokemon, forced into Max Raid, towered like monsters from a tokusatsu film, making the skyscrapers seem like toys.
Their eyes were bloodshot, clearly devoid of reason. Various Max Raid moves ravaged the city center, toppling buildings and cracking the earth. In the blink of an eye, a section of the city became a sea of flames.
Pedestrians on the streets fled in panic, and Kenkan City descended into chaos.
Not only in Kenkan City, but at that moment, the entire Galer region was experiencing the same chaos! Shizuru stood in the Kenkan Arena, frowning as he looked up at the spectacle.
Countless red particle beams were converging from all directions towards Omegaton's core. Others might not understand, but he did.
That Omegaton was absorbing energy from across the Galer region!
Underground Energy Factory.
Olive looked at her phone and saw the situation outside, her expression changing slightly.
"Chairman, Omegaton has gone out of control and is absorbing energy from across the Galer region. Max Raid Pokemon are running amok everywhere!"
Hearing this, Chairman Loze's expression changed. What was happening? Had the plan failed? No, it couldn't be. They had come too far to give up now.
Chairman Loze turned to Dante.
Dante's eyebrows furrowed, "I did all this not for you, but for the Galer region!"
With that, he turned and left, determined to stop Omegaton.
